As Tom Cerber reported here, anti-American bigotry is alive and well in Toronto.
Sadly, this kind of thing in Central Canada is nothing new.
One of the excuses that anti-Americans will give you is that they don’t hate the American people — they just hate their government and its policies.
Well, remember this story? Like the Toronto Star […]

Gerry Nicholls, VP of the National Citizens Coalition, today pointed the finger at CBC comic, Rick Mercer, for partisanship in favor of the Liberal party.

If there’s one area in which you’d think the CBC would at least try to be unbiased, it would be in the coverage of it’s own profession.

The Ontario media are continuing their campaign of low blows and cheap personal insults against Stephen Harper.
Remember the ridiculous irrelevancies used to slander Preston Manning — all the endless cheap shots about his glasses, hair and voice? Now they’re starting in on Harper’s appearance, mixed in with more insults about his personality.

When the media tell you about how angry Stephen Harper is, they always point to his speech in response to Paul Martin’s address to the nation on April 21. That was the night Martin promised to call an election a month after Gomery reports.
The media don’t think you’ll listen to Harper’s actual words, so they […]

Here’s a first-hand account of Toronto’s reaction back when John Diefenbaker was elected. It’s by Larry Zolf, a prominent CBC fossil, who was there:
I came to Toronto from Winnipeg … in early 1957 just a few months before Dief’s upset victory. As a Westerner in Toronto I was overjoyed to see Dief win.
But as […]

Want to know what the media have planned for Stephen Harper? Have a look at what they did to Preston Manning.
It’s a two-step game:
Step one: Conduct a character assissination of a Western leader under the guise of reporting on his “image.”
Step two: If he responds by trying to change his image, mock him mercilessly […]
